I would def check out state farm. They insure your motorcycle based on displacement and not what catagory of bike it is.

 

Thanks for the recommendation for insurance...I will give them a call today.

oh yeah...the rear wheel isn't all that pretty. was going to powercoat it black.

 

Ducati to Honda.... interesting!

 

snapped a few pics at work.

 

Thanks, it's an 03, paid $5400 for it. I realize I offered too much...but i was willing to do so because it is clean and not modded (i want to mod it myself).

yeah, the 748 needs a valve clearance check every 6k. new timing belt every 2 years or 12k.
then there is the whole rocker issue that may need re-plating at any time. $50 to re-plate...and there are 16 rockers in the engine.

 

i agree with checking state farm i pay 800 a year for full coverage, but my driving record isn't the best either

 

The rear tire is about done - nice and squared off.

A new rear tire will really wake up the handling on the bike - those PP tires make the RR's just about fall into the turns.

Have fun!

 

dude.....but the duke is still way ahead of its time, the only problem with them is the cafe racer attitude the company (short of their race team) .....theyre all whacked out on mushrooms if you ask me....
OR Hunter S. Thompson!

 

haha faster and faster until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death
